Leukemia Patients Can Benefit from Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care seems to be great for just about any condition you have. It helps with overall health, body pain and even the alleviation of the symptoms of certain diseases. One of those diseases includes leukemia, which is generally defined by the National Cancer Institute, as a malignant disease in which “cancerous blood cells form and crowd out the healthy blood cells in the bone marrow.”

It can result in very painful and stiff joints and muscles when it is treated by treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery. Chiropractic care can help to alleviate some of the side effects of these treatments by doing the following:

Increased mobility

Decreased stress

More flexibility

Increased strength

Better ability to function

Less pain and stiffness

Restoration of nerve function

The chiropractic treatment process does not include any invasive procedures or any drugs. There are only manual and instrumental procedures used to help bring back the comfort and functionality of the body’s muscles and joints.

After an analysis on your condition is reviewed and approved, chiropractors will work along with an oncologist and any other professionals involved in your treatment, to come up with the best treatment plan for your particular case. The chiropractor will most likely treat you with procedures such as chiropractic adjustments and spinal manipulation.
